A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered finishing. Stems often widen into flared endings, while serifs read as sharp, sculpted wedges rather than blunt slabs. The overall rhythm is lively and calligraphic, with open curves and a stately, slightly condensed-looking uppercase alongside sturdy, readable lowercase forms.
Works especially well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also suits branding for luxury or heritage-leaning products, book jackets, posters, and event materials that want an elegant, authoritative serif tone.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial tone with a touch of classic sophistication. The sharp contrast and flared terminals give it a dressy, slightly dramatic presence that feels suited to refined, attention-getting typography rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-end serif voice with extra visual energy from strong contrast and flared, tapered details. It aims to balance classical formality with striking presence, making text feel curated and intentional.
The uppercase has a stately, engraved-like feel, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and decisive stroke endings. Numerals and punctuation share the same sharp, tapered finishing, helping the set feel cohesive in display settings.
